Notice: 1.7.10 version needs VoltzEngine, 1.12.2 is stand-alone and has no dependencies at this time.
Notice: ICBM has no built in power generators. It is recommended to install another mod such as Mekanism, Actual additions, IC2, and Thermal Expansion to get power for the machines.
ICBM-Classic
Everyone loves PvP and blowing your enemies up with style... but how do you get those explosives to your enemy. That is where missiles come into play. With ICBM classic you gain the ability to craft a wide range of explosives, mount them on missiles, and launch them into an orbital path with your foe.
Oh, but it doesn't stop there with just a few quick explosions. ICBM classic has a range of different styles to meet the needs of a growing empire. Starting with the classic TNT explosion embodied by the condensed and breaching charge. To step up your game it includes more specialized explosives such as the sonic, repulsion, antigravity, and emp. To top it off it includes the favorite thermobaric and nuclear explosions to give a warm welcome. Finally at the end when your enemy still has not had enough ICBM classic presents the Antimatter and Redmatter explosions. For when you need an entire base to disappear or in the latter be crushed into nothingness by a blackhole.

Different Versions
This version is a direct port of Calclavia's ICBM last updated in for Minecraft 1.6.4. The current mod that uses the name ICBM is a complete rewrite and redesign not based on the original.
Sentries
In order to provide a more flexible install and to reduce the complexity of development, sentries have been recreated as an Armory dependency called ICBM-Sentries.

Q.A.
Q: No longer uses VE?
A: For newer versions it was decided to remove the dependency on VE.
Q: How to do I get copper?
A: It is expected that you download a large tech mod to pair with ICBM-Classic. If you don't plan to do this, dungeon loot boxes do contain copper ingots.
Q: How do I get sulfur?
A: For the 1.12 version creepers will drop sulfur 2x as often as gunpowder. This can be used to craft the explosive and make gunpowder.
Q: How do I power the launchers?
A: Use a support power system (Forge Energy for 1.12, Redstone Flux for 1.7, IC2, etc). Then connect something that can feed power into the launcher. For 1.12 any part of the launcher will work. For 1.7 the controller and frame will work.
If desired, the 1.12 version can disable the power requirement via the in game config. This can be toggled while playing and does not require a restart.
Q: why two versions?
A: Short answer, to better support the community's desire for different gameplay styles.
Long answer, When ICBM was updated it was redesigned from the ground up. This upset a lot of die-hard fans and left a hole where the old version existed. People loved the simple nature of the classic version and wanted to experience it again. Which we hoped would be filled and continued in parrel with the rewrite. This led to the idea to let the community update the mod and resulted in the creation of defensetech. Which was not heading anywhere fast so we updated the original as a thank you to the community. Plus I have to admit, I did love the original - DarkCow
Q: Why Defense Tech?
A: Aidian was given permission by our team to work on his own version. The hope was that he would create a good match for the original. This never worked out but he is welcome to continue trying in the future.
Q: Do you plan to add more content?
A: Not sure, right now the goal is to keep to the original design and update for newer versions. At some point, there might be a few minor additions.
Q: Calclavia made ICBM why are you developing it?
A: Yes, Calclavia made the original mod but did not work on it alone. I, DarkGuardsman aka DarkCow, helped with the mod and UE before the team disbanded. During the disband I traded Calclavia for ICBM in order to prevent it from being abandoned. As it was clear Calclavia lost love for working on the mod long before the team disbanded.
Hey, I was wondering if there was any chance this mod would come out in a 1.15.2 version any time soon?
In reply to sondreg19:
No. There's a lot to polish for 1.12.2 still.
In reply to bl4ckscor3:
Yep, but that is not the reason I have yet to update. Right now my sanity can't deal with moving beyond 1.12 right now for larger mods. I had an OCD attack reading 1.14 code not long ago due to the renames of things like EntityZombie -> ZombieEntity. May sound odd but some wiring in my head makes it challenging to spend prolonged time in newer code.
Stupid question, but I'm curious; Why is the nuke so small and why doesn't it burn the grass and trees like in the original? Also there's no cloud animations anymore...
In reply to raging_russian_1:
Its meant to be like a tactical small scale nuke and at the moment it lost most of its radiation support until Atomic Science is closer to being done. At that point it will start killing wild life and doing more damage.
please add a config for the potion ids- i need to change them because they are conflicting in my pack- the mods it is conflicting with dont have config options for potion ids either.
In reply to brandyn_tv:
never mind i found out how to do it, in the voltzengine.cfg but it should really be in the icbm classic config.
In reply to brandyn_tv:
Its because in 1.7 VoltzEngine controlled all the potion effects due to 3-5 other mods using the same potions for other weapons/tools.
In reply to DarkGuardsman:
Oh ok, Interesting. Thanks.
how do i get a redstone signal out of the radar station?
How do i get electricity or energy???
In reply to pfg_mr_justnooblol:
Install a mod that provides it, like Actually Additions or Industrial Craft (among numerous other mods).
In reply to bl4ckscor3:
Thx
Can there be an option to disable the launch button in the terminal? cause before that was added, i had a keypad code you needed to enter in order to launch it, but now its kinda just death with 1 button.
In reply to Anatoli001:
Sure, but first keypad code? As i might be able to give you something a little nicer if I understand how you are using the launcher.
In reply to DarkGuardsman:
Like this.
Why did you remove the cluster missiles? Will it be added again?
In reply to eloren3213:
It wasn't functioning very well, models were incomplete, and I really want to move it to an addon so it can be expanded. As it was we had 2 types (conventional and nuke) this felt a little under whelming in terms of gameplay. What I would like to do instead is set it up so you can select which missiles to add to a cluster. This way any type can be used and a wider range of gameplay options would exist.
In reply to DarkGuardsman:
Thanks.
How do I launch a missile? I don't know what I have to use.
